Abstract
The size range of several hundred nanometers to several of micrometers contains a lot of microorganisms. The aim of the current report was to study the antibacterial properties of ZnO-NPs through a theoretical review of the most important findings in previous studies. The study found the most important antibacterial properties of ZnO-NPs, including: Strong antibacterial results can be achieved by enhancing variables such as UV light, zinc oxide particle size, concentration, shape, and surface modification, which affect many different toxicological processes. One of the main properties of ZnO-NPs is the production of intracellular ROS formation, as well as the mechanical damage of the cell wall due to the release of Zn2+ ion and its attachment to the cell membrane.
